If you are going to wait for someone to encourage you to do something, you just better give up.

All of us invent ourselves. Some of us just have more imagination than others.

I have no belief in the system. So Sonny is perfectly at home (in Washington D.C.). Politicians are one step down below used-car salesmen.

Nothing lifts me out of a bad mood better than a hard workout on my treadmill. It never fails. Exercise is nothing short of a miracle.

I can't listen to my own voice, I don't like it. You see all your mistakes when you hear your voice. You see all your imperfections.

At first all I wanted to be was famous; then I realized that fame had nothing to do with talent. I felt that I didn't do anything quite well enough, that I was one of those people who was famous but not very talented. So I said, okay, I'll be the Dinah Shore of the Seventies, on TV all the time but nobody quite knows why.

I've had so many rebirths, I should come with my own midwife by now.
